"Some of us have too much of this world’s goods... and we are thereby separated too widely from each other," wrote Eleanor Roosevelt, the subject of Blanche Wiesen Cook's three-volume biography. For Women's History Month, Laura speaks to Cook about Eleanor - the First Lady of the World - and why her work still resonates. Plus, a documentary by filmmaker Ross Watne on Arthurdale, the experimental, government-funded community Roosevelt championed in Depression-era West Virginia. Music featured: “Superman” by violinist Richmond Punch featuring Christian LACE and Tomea Coleman from Richmond’s album “Finally”. Why not become a LFShow member? Do so and unlock more content.
